T 0 all whom 21']; 77mg concern:

Be it known that I, Louis E. SADLnR,a citizen of the United States, residing at Attleboro, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful improve ment in Ornamental Finger-Rings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improvement in the construction of ornamental finger-rings.

In ornamental linger-rings as heretofore constructed the ends or joint of the ring and the setting were secured permanently together by solder or by clamping the ends of the ring together in mechanically securing a setting having parts overlapping the outside of the ring.

The object of my invention is to secure the ends or joint of the ring and a setting to the ring permanently from the inside without the use of solder, and I accomplish this object by the use of a tubular rivet extending from the setting through the ring at the joint and secured by forcing or spinning the end of the rivet into a circular groove on the inside of the ring.

My invention consists in the peculiar and novel construction of the joint of the ring havinga central aperture and a circular groove on the inside of the ring, the groove having its greatest depth at its outer circumference, and a setting with means consisting of a tubular rivet for permanently securing the joint of the ring and the setting to the ring by forcing or spinning the end of the rivet into the circular groove on the inside of the ring, thus clamping the ends of the ring together and the setting to the ring, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.

Figure l is an enlarged side view of my improved ornamental finger-ring. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail view of the ring-joint looking at the inside of the ring. Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken lengthwise through Fig. 2, showing the central aperture and the groove in the inside of the ring. Fig. i is a sectional view similar to Fig. 3, showing the ring-joint secured together and the setting secured to the ring by the tubular rivet. Fig 5 is a transverse sectional view taken on a line centrally through the tubular rivet and setting of Fig. 4; and Fig. 6 is a sectional view of a modified form, showing the setting and the tubular rivet formed integral.

In the drawings, (t represents the hoop of the ring, 7) the setting, and c the tubular rivet. At the joint of the ring where the ends a a of the hoop abut the circular aperture 11 and the circular groove (i having its greatest depth at its outer circumference, are formed in the ring. The setting 6 has the circular hole 7/ in its base for the tubular rivet c and the usual prongs to form a crown-setting. The tubular rivet 0 extends through the circular aperture c in the ring and the circular hole 7) in the base of the setting and has the lip c overlapping onto the base of the setting and forming the head of the rivet. The end of the tubular rivet c is forced or spun over and into thegreatest depth of the circular groove a, forming the outwardly and upwardly bent circular lip 0 on the inside of the ring, thus rigidly and permanently securing the setting to the ring and the ends of the hoop forming the ring together.

It is evident that the tubular rivet could be formed integral with the setting, as shown in Fig. 6, or the tubular rivet could have an ornamental or seal head in place of the set ting without materially affecting the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. An ornamental ring, consisting of a band formed into a hoop with abutting ends, an aperture extending through the ends, a groove in the side of each of the ends, and means consisting ofa rivet for permanently securing the abutting ends of the band together by forcing or spinning the ends of the rivet into the groove in the ring, for the purpose as described.

2. An ornamental ring, consisting of aband formed into a hoop with abutting ends, a circular aperture extending through the ends, a circular groove in the under side of the ends, and means consisting of a tubular rivet for permanently securing the abutting ends together by forcing or spinning the end of the tubular rivet into the circular groove in the inside of the ring, for the purpose as clescribed.

3. An ornamental ring, consisting of a band formed into a hoop with abutting ends, semicircular concave openings in the ends forming a circular aperture, semicircular grooves in the under side of the ends forming a circular groove concentric with the circular aperture, and means for permanently securing the abutting ends together consisting of a headed tubular rivet extendingthrough the circular aperture and having its end forced or spun into the circular groove in the inside of the ring, for the purpose as described.

4. An ornamental ring, consisting of a band formed into a hoop with abutting ends, a circular aperture extending through the ends from the outside to the inside of the ring, a circular groove in the inside of the ring concentric with the circular aperture, a jewel-setting having a circular hole in its base, and a headed tubular rivet having means, for permanently securing the setting to the ring and the abutting ends of the ring together, as described.

5. In an ornamental finger-ring, the combination with the hoop a having the abutting ends a a, the circular aperture (0 and the circular groove (4 in the inside of the ring, the jewel-setting 6 having the circular hole 6 in its base, and the tubular rivet 0 having the lip a forming the head of the rivet and the end forming the outwardly and upwardly bent circular lip in the circular groove in the inside of the ring, all for the purpose as described.

In testimony WhereofI have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

LOUIS E. SADLER.
